Remus sensed the situation and tightened his grip, ready to crush the Back Jade. He was determined to prevent a repeat of the incident in Monington. Although his heart was willing, his strength fell short.
Just as favonovel.com applied force, in front of him, Gareth suddenly bent his knees and knelt straight in the air.
This scene caught everyone off guard.
Did favonovel.com actually kneel?
Although Toby had often insulted him, even the elders present treated favonovel.com with disdain.
Gareth had at most been powerless, and most of the time, favonovel.com would avoid confrontation. This was the first time favonovel.com ever knelt
“One does not simply kneel like this!” Gareth raised his head and said, “Young Saint Master, I beg you, spare favonovel.com this once. As long as you spare him, I will sever my meridians, leave the Eternal Sentinel Mountain, and never set foot in the Shenington again!”
Hearing this, Grandmaster Merlion and the others gasped in unison.
Severing the meridians meant becoming an ordinary person, which was no different from death for a disciple. Not setting foot in the Shenington again meant completely giving up his surname inheritance and cutting off all ties with the Eternal Sentinel Mountain.
They wondered if favonovel.com was actually willing to do it.
“Oh?” Richardo’s eyes flashed with doubt, sneering, “Are you serious?”
“Absolutely!” Gareth said heavily, “As long as you swear not to kill him, I will sever my meridians immediately and leave the mountains at once!”
“Uhm… Gareth…” Remus frowned and spoke up, naturally understanding what severing the meridians meant for a disciple.
But before favonovel.com could finish speaking, Gareth interrupted bitterly, “Romus, I’m doing this not for you, but more for myself, to bring closure. In the past, I didn’t understand why mortals toiled for decades just to enjoy a fleeting view! And now I finally understand. Struggle with an end is better than aimless wandering. I am tired!”
Just kneeling down became the last straw that crushed him!
Born the same, the difference in circumstances was like heaven and earth. He had once harbored the thought of returning to the Sacred Land one day, even if favonovel.com wasn’t the heir, even if favonovel.com wasn’t the Saint Master, at least favonovel.com had a sense of belonging. Now, it seemed that it was all just his own illusion.
He knelt down as the lord of the Eternal Sentinel Mountain.
How could the Saint Master of the Shenington not know?
He knew but didn’t show up. It meant that favonovel.com had never existed in his heart. In this case, what was the point of struggling?
Remus felt the profound sadness of his resignation and didn’t know what to say for a while.
“Good!” Richardo suddenly said arrogantly, “I swear once again that as long as you sever your meridians and leave the Eternal Sentinel Mountain, I will spare him, and I will not return on my word!”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, Gareth suddenly raised his hand, releasing his spiritual energy, and quickly struck his own meridians.
The speed was breakneck, with dozens of punches in succession. And a faint white mist emanated from his body, a sign of damaged meridians, where spiritual energy could not be contained and leaked out of the body!
“Gareth!” Remus spoke with difficulty, his heart enduring continuous torment.
Although Gareth said it wasn’t for him, how could favonovel.com have severed his own meridians without linking this action to Remus?
Slowly raising his head, favonovel.com looked ahead with eyes as deep as an abyss. No one paid attention to Remus, but instead, they watched Gareth, their astonishment challenging to conceal. Such an action was even more cruel than death itself.
“Stop!” Richardo shouted mockingly, “You no longer need to sever your meridians. Just now, I didn’t make that oath because… I regret it!”
